Polyester 12 Plait

Polyester 12 plait provides high strength, low stretch and excellent abrasion resistance in a unique single braid construction. Polyester 12 Plait is easily spliced using a standard tuck splice and is 30% stronger than three strand or 8 plait polyester. Its torque free braided construction provides easy handling and prevents kinks and hockles. Polyester 12 plait comes standard with an overlay marine finish and is available on special order with a spliceable polyurethane finish in clear or any of six colors.
